JBuilder里监控内存使用情况的插件

===========================
CHANGES - JB Memory Monitor
===========================

v2.2
- The Memory Monitor has the newest Status Memory Monitor build in.
- The Memory Monitor shows/indicates now it's autostart state on the 
  JBuilder button toolbar and menus related to it's autostart checkbox option
  setting.
- Under the Memory Monitor color settings it's now also possible to
  setup individually the colors for the used and allocated memory strings.
- The Memory Monitor has an autostart when JBuilder launches setting.
- The Memory Monitor has been reworked to use the status view height.
- The Memory Monitor has now a toggle button for switching to the sample
  rate view.
- The Memory Monitor live instance under the Memory Monitor IDE Options has now
  also a GC button and thus can perform on demand a garbage collection too.
- The Memory Monitor property page now always adapts it's look'n'feel to the one 
  setup inside JBuilder.

v2.0
- The StatusView Memory Monitor is again a real JB embedded status view Monitor.
  Beside that it's peak indication orientation has been changed left to right.
- The options warn and autoGC size setups have been improved and made more
  comfortable. The sliders are remebering their previous setup size now too.
  The sliders can be used now for adjusting memory sizes up to 1GB.
- The modal warn dialog has been removed, instead an info message category is used.
- The Memory Monitor views indicate memory heap sized now in MB's instead of KB's.
- Other minor code changes have been performed.

v1.9
- Removed the alternate Memory Monitor info view and instead placed there
  individual sampling rate and mem stamping (logging) customizations.
- The options warn and autoGC setups have been improved and made more
  comfortable.
- The StatusView Memory Monitor has been removed and is now instead placed 
  in an own stay on top floating dialog now. This is due to the fact, that
  JBuilder's underlayed status view architecture has changed with version 7.
- The StatusView Memory Monitor view offers now the same features as the other 
  Memory Monitor views.

v1.8
- Added new user customizable coloring support via a new color tab options
  panel, which also includes a live preview instance of the Memory Monitor's 
  graph drawing area for easier coloring setups. There is also for astetic 
  and security reasons a fallback/restore button, which the user can use 
  anytime to restore the initial default Memory Monitor colorings.
- Added also a new second alternate Memory Monitor text info area now.
  So the users can now switch/toggle between these Memory Monitor graph/text
  information areas. This new text info area runs also in it's own thread. 
  This means, that if a user switches between these views, the actual view's
  thread will be stoped and the other one will be started and vice versa.
  The new text info area has been included to the Dialog, Frame and JB Msgv
  based Memory Monitors.
- Due to the new coloring customization support, the properties file format 
	has again changed. Thus those from older Memory Monitor versions must be 
	first removed before you can use this new Memory Monitor version. See the 
	distributions Readme.html file for how todo this.

v1.7.2
- Added a visual freeze indicator for freezed in Memory Monitor areas.
- Added support for the showup in the AboutOpenTools OT, see:
http://codecentral.borland.com/codecentral/ccweb.exe/listing?id=17238
- Reworked the Readme.html and online help slightly.


v1.7
- There is now also a status view based Memory Monitor included.
- The properties file format has changed and thus older ones must now be
  first removed before using this Memory Monitor version. See the dists
  Readme.html file for how todo this.
  
v1.6
- There is now also a simple sort of setable automatic garbage collection 
  run option build into the Memory Monitor.
- The properties file format has changed and thus older ones must now be
  first removed before using this Memory Monitor version. See the dists
  Readme.html file for how todo this.
  
v1.5
- There is now also a simple (very quick and dirty made) sort of setable 
  critical memory indication popup dialog build into the Memory Monitor, 
  which should help people to be able to recognize, that JBuilder will 
  soon run possibly out of memory. At least I hope that this request from 
  Joi Ellis of TeamB is somehow useful for some peoples too.
- The properties file format has changed and thus older ones must now be
  first removed before using this Memory Monitor version. See the dists
  Readme.html file for how todo this.

v1.4
- Added again also the always stay on top dialog based Memory Monitor,
  so there are now three different window representations available.
- The position and size of the dialog and frame based windows will now
  be preserved on their closing, so the next time one of these is started
  it should appear where it was leaved.

  
v1.3
- I was unhappy with the two separate Memory Monitor jar file versions, 
  so I now build them into one unique version and have instead setup an 
  Tools|IDE options... selection scheme for their usage.
- There is now also a little online help included, which is accessable
  via the Tools|IDE options... Memory Monitor tab pane help button.

v1.2
- there are now two Memory Monitor versions available, a frame window
  based one and a new JB Message View based one. The choice is yours.
- For the frame window based version, a JFrame is now used instead of
  a JDialog. Thus the memory monitor window can now be discovered by 
  JB IDE windows if needed and also iconified on demand.
  
v1.1
- added escape <Esc> key handling for quick keyboard window closing.

v1.0
 - initial public release 2001, privately used since 1999.
